Have you ever heard the say " you never want what you have, but always want what you can't have" Well I think that might sum up your delima! Your old friend has always been there, but now that someone else has his attention you feel like you want more. You need to be satisfied with your man and let him be happy with his new relationship!

There's no chance that your old friend loves you because otherwise he wouldn't be getting married to someone else. Think back to when you first fell in love with him and try and work out why. Was it because your husband wasn't interesting enough for you or was it because he did something for you? Try and work on your relationship with your husband instead of worrying about falling in love with an old friend.

Rebecca Batchelor agony auntThink seriously about your marriage first and foremost. You are very young and perhaps you feel tied down with two children.

The guy that you are interested in is due to get married too which will make him committed to another person. I don't know if he is being responsive to you but be aware of the fact that if you become involved with him, too many hearts will break.

Sit down with your husband and discuss whether you have a future together and if you have, what you can do to make the relationship better.

If, however, you feel the relationship has run its course, then think about ways of breaking up that will minimise the pain caused to the children.

Only then and after a bit of time should you consider getting involved with a man who is single.

Good luck.

you 'think' you have fallen in love with another person. this is called temptation. you are old enough to know you would be faced with it when you got married. you are an adult. you need to act like one.

You obviously got married too young. I don't see one word here about your husband, or the father of the baby. Sounds like you need to work on that relationship. If you broke up with the other guy, there was a reason for it. Work on your marriage, and wish him well with his own.
